the_o soul_n in_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n then_o second_o there_o must_v be_v another_o peace_n settle_v in_o some_o degree_n and_o that_o be_v the_o peace_n of_o government_n in_o the_o soul_n grace_n must_v be_v above_o corruption_n they_o will_v be_v together_o in_o the_o soul_n while_o we_o be_v here_o but_o sin_n must_v not_o have_v the_o dominion_n this_o be_v such_o a_o peace_n not_o as_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o conflict_n but_o a_o peace_n wherein_o grace_n may_v get_v the_o

come_v now_o before_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v at_o peace_n in_o that_o respect_n it_o must_v know_v that_o be_v once_o in_o christ_n reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o

when_o god_n be_v at_o peace_n all_o be_v at_o peace_n yea_o so_o far_o at_o peace_n that_o they_o have_v a_o blessing_n in_o they_o the_o curse_n and_o venom_n be_v take_v out_o of_o they_o by_o

all_o we_o and_o make_v in_o some_o sort_n serviceable_a to_o further_o our_o spiritual_a good_a when_o our_o husband_n have_v all_o thing_n commit_v unto_o he_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n will_v he_o

nothing_o can_v dismay_v a_o christian_n that_o be_v true_o in_o christ_n grant_v the_o first_o grant_v all_o stand_v upon_o good_a term_n with_o christ_n be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n and_o nothing_o can_v do_v thou_o hurt_v but_o when_o we_o at_o any_o time_n come_v to_o comfort_v such_o as_o have_v comfort_n for_o their_o portion_n it_o stick_v here_o if_o i_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n indeed_o or_o if_o i_o do_v believe_v it_o be_v something_o these_o be_v good_a comfort_n indeed_o and_o certain_a and_o true_a for_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o i_o i_o find_v universal_o that_o comfort_n stick_v there_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o remove_v that_o objection_n first_o of_o all_o therefore_o labour_v to_o have_v a_o good_a judgement_n of_o main_a truth_n that_o these_o comfort_n be_v the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o the_o word_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o a_o general_a knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o promise_n thou_o shall_v be_v better_a able_a to_o apply_v they_o if_o thou_o stick_v in_o the_o principle_n so_o as_o not_o to_o know_v they_o nor_o to_o believe_v they_o there_o be_v no_o talk_v of_o the_o application_n of_o faith_n upon_o they_o we_o must_v make_v that_o our_o own_o in_o particular_a which_o we_o believe_v first_o in_o general_n and_o therefore_o christian_n must_v first_o be_v well_o see_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o promise_n there_o that_o they_o may_v know_v what_o belong_v to_o they_o and_o apply_v they_o to_o themselves_o i_o but_o my_o faith_n be_v weak_a i_o answer_v the_o office_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o know_v christ_n and_o the_o weak_a faith_n will_v do_v that_o as_o well_o as_o the_o strong_a and_o when_o we_o be_v once_o one_o with_o christ_n than_o our_o perfection_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o faith_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o christ_n and_o then_o look_v to_o he_o for_o all_o perfection_n and_o for_o thy_o title_n to_o he_o in_o heaven_n and_o not_o in_o thy_o faith_n and_o true_a faith_n be_v faith_n even_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n of_o it_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o element_n every_o drop_n of_o water_n be_v water_n and_o every_o spark_n of_o fire_n be_v fire_n and_o therefore_o the_o argument_n will_v not_o hold_v if_o we_o have_v not_o much_o faith_n we_o have_v no_o faith_n or_o if_o we_o have_v no_o feel_n we_o have_v no_o faith_n there_o be_v many_o common_a error_n which_o we_o must_v remove_v that_o they_o may_v not_o hinder_v we_o in_o the_o application_n of_o christ_n by_o distinguish_v between_o strong_a grace_n and_o true_a grace_n and_o above_o all_o labour_v to_o know_v and_o understand_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n the_o tenor_n of_o which_o require_v no_o set_a measure_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o we_o believe_v we_o shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n under_o so_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a a_o covenant_n be_v we_o 2_o but_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v the_o soul_n the_o very_a cleave_v to_o christ_n be_v indeed_o a_o sufficient_a ground_n of_o comfort_n but_o yet_o to_o obtain_v actual_a comfort_n there_o must_v be_v a_o knowledge_n that_o we_o do_v cleave_v to_o christ_n and_o believe_v there_o may_v be_v adherence_n without_o evidence_n and_o there_o must_v be_v a_o act_n of_o reflection_n to_o cause_n faith_n of_o evidence_n it_o must_v appear_v to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o do_v believe_v before_o we_o can_v have_v comfort_n though_o we_o may_v be_v true_a christian_n and_o go_v to_o heaven_n without_o it_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o in_o our_o own_o apprehension_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o sure_a in_o itself_o and_o in_o god_n breast_n yet_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o make_v it_o sure_a in_o our_o own_o breast_n that_o sin_n may_v be_v pardon_v in_o our_o own_o conscience_n that_o all_o may_v be_v reconcile_v in_o our_o own_o heart_n that_o what_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n may_v be_v do_v in_o our_o heart_n also_o be_v clear_v to_o our_o own_o assurance_n you_o see_v what_o advise_v the_o apostle_n give_v give_v all_o diligence_n it_o be_v not_o get_v without_o diligence_n nor_o without_o all_o diligence_n to_o make_v our_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a 1._o that_o be_v to_o make_v our_o election_n sure_a by_o our_o call_n and_o to_o that_o end_n to_o add_v grace_n to_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o grow_a christian_a that_o be_v the_o assure_v
